I never said God is obligated to save all innocent young people. God isn't obligated to save anyone.
However, it is clear from Scripture that God saves the elect. The question therefore is NOT whether God is "obligated" to save the innocent young people...but whether has God
already included them in the elect? Men like Spurgeon and Gill thought so...as well as current Reformed Baptists, like Dr. Al Mohler. So there are many within the Reformed camp who see all infants as belonging to the elect.
I mentioned II Corinthians 5:10 just to express that each of us judged for what we have done in the body, and not for Adam's sin. IMO, this is a key verse when discussing this topic.
